Inside Look at the 12 Jurors Deciding Parkland School Shooter's Fate

After a nearly three-month selection process, a panel of twelve jurors has been sworn in to decide the fate of Nikolas Cruz, the now 23 year-old who pled guilty to murdering 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.

The panel, made up of seven men and five women, will return to court on July 18 to begin proceedings which will determine whether Cruz receives life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty in the killing spree.

During a court session, Cruz confirmed that he participated in the selection process and listened to the deliberations regarding who would partake in deciding his sentence.

The chosen jurors range from ages 24 to 59, and consist of three white females, two black makes, two Hispanic males, two White males, one Hispanic male, one Black female and one Asian male.

Of the panel, four of the jurors registered as Democrats, four as Republican, two as no party affiliate, and two remain unknown. Of these twelve, at least four jurors own one or more handguns.
